Thu, 07 Mar 2019 14:21:01 GMTI have 3 computers that I want to backup to my personal OneDrive account. However, I only want to upload data, I don't want the content to sync back to my PC. All of the PC's have specific data on them, and if I use the same OneDrive account to backup all three PC's, I don't want data from PC1 synced to PC2, etc.

Is this possible? Basically to use OneDrive as a one way file dump?

I initially set it up tonight but have now uninstalled it and deleted all files from my OneDrive until I can understand how it works first.

Firstly, if I resign up again to one drive will it attempt to sync my previous files with my laptop and, as I’ve deleted everything that had been uploaded before from OneDrive, start deleting these files from my HDD on my laptop. This is what was happening previously when I deleted a folder from the OneDrive that I had synced in error. I removed it from the OneDrive and it also synced and deleted it from my HDD. The folder that had originated on my HDD and was initially backed up to OneDrive had been deleted?

Secondly I started to use OneDrive as I wanted to be able to back up certain folders on my HDD automatically via sync. My idea was that I could create quotes for customers and work in and save job files on my laptop, save these to my HDD and automatically they’d be synced to OneDrive as a backup giving me two copies. One on my HDD and a backup on OneDrive that I could also benefit of viewing when away from the office on my phone via the app or another PC if required. Apart from the initial sync when I set it all up when I had created and saved new files on my HDD they weren’t automatically appearing on the OneDrive, even after a few hours? Is it the case that I have to drag bad drop every single new file to the OneDrive for it to initially sync?

Sorry for the long post but I’m new this so I’m unsure of how best to tackle it?

My wife is currently on the 50GB $2/month plan and very happy with it, but she will require more storage space very soon (around 200-300GB should do for a looooong time). It has to be OneDrive since she uses an application for work that only supports OneDrive and no other cloud storage provider. However, neither her nor me have even the slightest interest in Office 365 whatsoever. Like... none, zero, nada, zilch. She has to use Office 2010 for work for compatibility reasons, and I already own Office 2019 and Office 2016 through my own business. I also object to the idea of software subscriptions in general and boycott them whenever and wherever possible.

How do I go about purchasing a higher storage tier for her without also having to pay for an Office 365 subscription? Microsoft doesn't seem to be offering anything between 50GB and 1TB through Office 365. Is there really no other way?

Tue, 05 Mar 2019 20:50:48 GMTI'm new to OneDrive. Frequently I get a warning message that "OneDrive needs your attention" and this issue is always something along the lines of "Remove files from OneDrive? You recently deleted 456 files from this device. Do you want to remove them from OneDrive too?"

This thing is that I don't seem to get any clue what it is that OneDrive actually wants to remove, and I know I haven't done anything to provoke it in the past few minutes anyhow, so I'm twitchy about allowing it to throw away files. Is there some way to actually understand what it wants to do?

I have not so simple question about demanding files on onedrive.

If I understand it correctly now there are two or three ways how to manage your files on the cloud. The first one being that files are permanently on the computer with some syncing and updating which is not important now. The other one being that the files are never downloaded unless you press the download button on the file. The last one being downloaded on demand.

Now what I'm trying to figure out is this.. I have this file (key) which shall never ever be present at any device unless its demanded for opening the database file. To explain it better I want this file to be always on the cloud, but once I decide to open my database with this key, it than downloads (opens my stuff) and when I'm done with the key, it.. deletes from the cached files. This idea is simply for security reasons and keeping this file on the same machine with the thing it is supposed to lock doesn't make sense.

Is there a way how can this be done? or I want too much from free onedrive account.

Thank you all my lovers.

Tue, 26 Feb 2019 18:57:44 GMTPlainly I don't understand how OneDrive is supposed to work. I installed it, and dragged a directory into it - say c:MyStuff\Data and it magically appeared on the web page with its files. Slick. However...

As I poke around it looks like it also copied all that date down into it's own subdirectory Users\MyID\OneDrive\Data. So now it's chewing up twice the GBs on my disk.

And when I install OneDrive on a "B" machine, it slickly downloads data from the web - and buries it down in the User subdir where it's of absolutely no use to me but it chews up GBs. And the files never do show up in the proper usable place in my directory tree.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Tue, 26 Feb 2019 05:07:43 GMTA stupid question probably, but I'm old so... I want to store a few of my favourite movies on my OneDrive so I'm not using up space on my hard drive. However, where I'm living (i.e the dark ages) doesn't have unlimited data (about 240gb/month) so my question is, am I using data to stream the movie from OneDrive every time I watch it? Even though I can see it sitting there in a folder on the desktop? A buddy said you can "make them available offline" does that mean it's downloaded back to my pc?
